TOUGH ACCESS landed a $5,000 Landscaping in a day #2

What happens here

A Castloaders Carbon 33T mini-skid steer with a grapple bucket attachment is brought to the job site. One worker uses a rake to roughly spread some of the dumped dirt, while another operates the mini-skid steer. The mini-skid steer picks up and transports portions of the dirt pile, distributing it strategically around the house foundation to begin creating the desired grade. The narrator advises filling the mini-skid steer bucket completely for maximum efficiency, minimizing trips, saving fuel, and expediting the job. He also notes the ground is wet from sprinklers, a detail unknown prior to starting work.

Goal: Rough grade and distribute delivered dirt around the foundation

Tools and materials

  • Grapple Bucket — Attached to the mini-skid steer for handling dirt and rocks
  • Rake — Manually spreading and leveling the dirt
